That's the thing that really irritates me about this, I could understand if they are directly affected by the changes that could cause impact on their daily lives for all sorts of commitments but it's routes that aren't local and are only used on bus day outs. You didn't hear me slagging Arriva off for cutting some of the Darlington 12 route down to hourly operation and the reason for that is that I almost never use service 12, so I don't feel that it is my place to give an opinion on Arriva's decision to do this. I do have some complaints about the Arriva Darlington changes but they are directly affecting my travel arrangements such as timekeeping issues and the withdrawal of an early morning 5A to Darlington on Saturday's that I regularly used.
